Triple talaq continued because of politics of appeasement: Amit Shah

Triple talaq was a 'nightmare' for crores of Muslim women who were denied of their rights, says Home Minister Amit Shah.

Politics of appeasement is to blame for the country's partition and it's the reason that the "evil practice" of triple talaq" was allowed for long, said Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday.

"Some people level allegations against BJP government that such action is anti-Muslim. I want to make it clear that this is only and only to benefit Muslims, not the Hindus, Jains or Christians," he said as he defended the government's decision to ban triple talaq through parliamentary legislation.
